It's a rhyming dictionary; it shows you words that rhyme and places them in alphabetical order. Kind of hard to screw that up. (

I don’t really have any need for a rhyming dictionary – I am not a writer or poet. However, there is something wonderful about all of the phonetically arranged words. (

I used to use this book an awful lot, but needing to look a word up in the index and then go to the page with the rhymes is a slow process. Now, I'm afraid I just go to one of the many rhyming dictionaries on the Web. (
